Intro & New Features

The Warrior Covert QR5 Pro hockey stick is new for 2022 and showcases Warrior’s updated approach to their popular low kick line. It features many new and returning tech and materials, including a QREdge taper, a FuelCore Ultra Blade, Minimus Carbon UD, an RLC 188 construction, and SlideGrip technology over the shaft. As a result of combining what worked on the previous Covert stick with what works on the ever-popular Alpha LX, Warrior has developed their most advanced Covert stick yet.

Stick Flex Profile

The low kick point of the QR5 Pro hockey stick will be the easiest to flex and take advantage of for young players. It specializes in close-up play and quick shots, which can give your child a great head start in their game.

Shaft Construction

Warrior is well-known in the hockey and lacrosse worlds for constantly reworking their carbon construction and materials, and this stick’s shaft demonstrates their advancements in that area. Minimus Carbon UD is of Warrior’s own design and uses an incredibly light unidirectional carbon fibre weave that was also featured in the Alpha LX. The Revolutionary Lightweight Construction 188, or RLC 188, ensures the highest quality materials have been used in the sticks’ shaft to keep it light and ready to perform. Of these materials, RLC 188 includes lower-weight fibres and thermoplastic-toughened epoxy resin.

Blade Construction & Stiffness

The QR5 Pro stick uses a new, redesigned blade in the form of a FuelCore Ultra Blade, also seen in the Alpha line. Fusing Minimus Carbon 25 carbon weave with their polymer blade core, this blade is able to deliver exceptional durability, pop, and feel. The blade is also textured to enhance grip on the puck at ice level.

Graphics

This rendition of the Warrior Covert line is mainly black at the top and orange at the bottom, with blue and orange accents. The Covert, Warrior, and QR5 Pro logos are all visible on the shaft.

Grip

Warrior implemented SlideGrip into their highest-end Covert player stick. Although the name may sound contradictory, this design makes grasping the stick and maneuvering it easier and more efficient.

Blade Patterns, Flex & Stick Length

The Covert QR5 Youth hockey stick is available in the W03 blade pattern at 30 flex, which is the perfect beginner blade with a mid-curve style. It is great at handling the puck in small spaces, including face-offs.
